On sober second thought, please do print every letter Miss Robinn writes; she is too entertaining to be buried in obscurity. . . . My husband...
This will mark Howard's first appearance in competition for two years, the West Roxbury youth having been forced out of athletics at Harvard for all of last year because of an eye injury sustained during the baseball season when he was hit by a batted ball.
